What is the Horse Coaching Program?

What is horse coaching?
This is a horse-mediated coaching program.

Horses are particularly delicate and sensitive creatures among herbivores that live in herds, sensing and tuning in to the slightest subtleties of human emotions and changes in temperament.
The "mirroring" characteristic is a feature of the "mirroring" system.

Using the horse's unique characteristics, you will gain the power to recognize and control your emotions.
Understand the feelings of others and communicate your own feelings,
Like a manager or leader who moves
This program is designed to provide
skills that are essential for those in "leading the pack" roles.

  • I want to lead my team more effectively.
  • Feeling difficulty with relationships with people you need to interact with at work.

Born in Osaka Prefecture, he graduated from AWS Zoological Institute and joined the company in 2011. At the time of admission, she had hoped to work with carnivores, but since taking charge of horses at her current position in 2015, she has been fascinated by their appeal and even goes to watch racehorses run on her days off. The attraction of horses is that they convey feelings. I get the feeling that they worry about me when I'm down and have fun with me when I'm having fun, and the more I get to know them, the more I like them.
Comment
The program includes many opportunities to listen to the ideas of those who participate with us, and there are also insights to be gained from hearing how diverse people think and feel. We encourage you to talk with the people who shared the same place with you, including us.

Born in Hyogo Prefecture. Majored in Japanese literature at university, but joined the company in 2014 to realize a job working with animals since childhood. After working in the sales department, he has been in his current position since 2015. The attraction of horses is that they are just so profound. They have rich expressions and personalities, and it is easy to feel the interaction and feel as if you are growing up with them. Recognizing that they are partners, not captive animals.
Comment
I just want you to have fun. The horses will remind you what to take away from the program. This is not a one-way training program, but a program where you can grow by facing yourself, thinking a lot, and learning to take better care of yourself now.

Born in Wakayama Prefecture. After graduating from AWS Zoological Institute, he joined the company in 2013, aspiring to work with animals. After working in the sales and planning departments, she has been in her current position since the launch of Horse Camp. The attraction of horses is that they are full of emotions and their reactions change depending on how you treat them. It is as if they can see right through you. They are like colleagues, rather than just breeding staff and the animals being bred.
Comment
I believe that the experience with horses will not be a shallow relationship, but a time for people to realize what is important to them. I hope to make it a time for people to get to know themselves again and to think deeply about how they interact with others and their relationships.

I was able to talk to myself, face the emotions that welled up inside me, and have constructive conversations with my partner.

Participating in the Horse Coaching Program allowed me to talk to myself and face the various emotions that welled up inside me. I realized that I can create margins by stopping and listening to my heart, even if only for a moment, and that the same goes for the other person.

Now that I have experienced the importance of introspection and creating a margin for myself, I would like to make time to face myself, even if it is only 15 minutes a day, such as between meetings.

Also, even when talking with my partner, who is the complete opposite of me, I will try to communicate more constructively than usual by controlling myself to a flat state, rather than saying, "It's okay because we are different from each other.

During the program, I came into contact with horses with completely different personalities, and I realized that each of them has their own diversity and culture.
